Supporting Hantec Markets' International Growth Through a Relationship-Led Recruitment Strategy

Hantec Markets is a multinational financial broker with global offices, providing retail investors access to Contracts for Difference (CFDs) across forex, stocks, commodities, indices, and cryptocurrencies. As part of the award-winning Hantec Group, founded in 1990, the company serves more than 200,000 clients globally and operates across multiple international markets.

Supporting a business of this scale requires more than simply filling vacancies. It demands a recruitment partner with a deep understanding of the financial services landscape, the regulatory complexities of operating across multiple jurisdictions, and the ability to identify specialist talent in highly competitive markets.

Building Recruitment Strategies Around Market Intelligence

Our partnership with Hantec Markets starts long before candidates are introduced.

Every search begins with comprehensive market mapping, providing a detailed view of the talent landscape within each region. We analyse competitor hiring activity, candidate availability, salary benchmarks, and market trends, while also taking into account the regulatory frameworks, licensing requirements, and compliance obligations that shape hiring decisions across financial services.

This research gives Hantec Markets access to valuable market intelligence, allowing hiring managers to make informed decisions based on real-world talent availability rather than assumptions. The result is a more strategic hiring process that aligns with both immediate business needs and long-term growth plans.

Equally important is the time invested in understanding the business itself. We work closely with stakeholders to gain a detailed understanding of team structures, company culture, growth objectives, and the characteristics that define success within each role. This enables us to represent the business accurately in the market and attract candidates who are aligned not only with the technical requirements of the position but also with Hantec Markets' values and ambitions.

Creating a Consistent and Supportive Candidate Experience

For candidates, the recruitment journey is far more than a series of interviews. Changing roles within the financial services sector is often a significant career decision, particularly when considering international opportunities or highly regulated environments.

That's why we adopt a consultative, relationship-led approach throughout the process.

Every candidate is supported by a single point of contact from the first conversation through to offer negotiation, onboarding, and post-placement follow-up. This consistency creates trust, improves communication, and ensures candidates receive a personalised experience throughout their journey.

We take the time to understand each individual's motivations, career ambitions, preferred working environment, and long-term objectives before discussing opportunities. This allows us to provide genuine career advice while ensuring that any role presented represents a meaningful next step.

Candidates also benefit from detailed briefing sessions, interview preparation, market insight, and ongoing guidance throughout the recruitment process. By maintaining regular communication and providing complete transparency, we help candidates navigate the process with confidence and clarity.

Thorough Assessment, Not Just CV Selection

One of the key differentiators in our approach is the level of evaluation undertaken before candidates are presented to Hantec Markets.

Every candidate goes through a structured interview process designed to assess technical capability, industry knowledge, cultural fit, leadership potential, communication skills, and long-term career aspirations.

This means hiring managers are not simply reviewing CVs. They are meeting candidates who have been thoroughly assessed and carefully selected based on their suitability for both the role and the wider organisation.

The additional work undertaken behind the scenes significantly improves hiring efficiency while reducing the risks associated with international recruitment.

Delivering Talent Across Global Markets

Our reach spans financial services hubs across:

Through years of relationship building and extensive market mapping, we help Hantec Markets access specialist talent pools that are often difficult to engage through traditional recruitment channels.

We have successfully supported searches across a broad range of functions, including:

Managing International Recruitment From the UK

To support Hantec Markets' global hiring requirements, we assign dedicated account managers who serve as a consistent point of contact for both clients and candidates.

From the client perspective, this creates continuity and ensures the recruiter develops a deep understanding of the organisation's hiring preferences, culture, business objectives, and recruitment processes.

From the candidate perspective, it removes the frustration often associated with large recruitment projects. Rather than being handed between multiple consultants, candidates build a relationship with one trusted recruitment specialist who understands their career goals and can provide support at every stage.

Working across multiple time zones requires flexibility and responsiveness. We adapt communication schedules to ensure both hiring managers and candidates remain informed and engaged throughout the process, regardless of location.

Importantly, our involvement does not end when an offer is accepted. We remain actively engaged during onboarding, facilitating a smooth transition for both parties and continuing to check in after placement to support long-term success.

A Long-Term Partnership Approach

Our work with Hantec Markets demonstrates the value of combining specialist financial services expertise, detailed market intelligence, and a genuinely relationship-led recruitment model.

By investing heavily in market mapping, candidate assessment, and stakeholder engagement, we help Hantec Markets identify and secure high-quality talent globally. At the same time, we provide candidates with a consistent, transparent, and supportive experience that strengthens engagement and delivers better outcomes for everyone involved.

The result is not simply successful placements, but lasting relationships that support the continued growth of both the business and the professionals who join it.
